ColourPop Private Party Pressed Powder Bronzer Review, Photos, Swatches
Private Party
ColourPop Private Party Pressed Powder Bronzer ($8.00 for 0.23 oz.) is a medium, golden brown with a satin sheen. It had nearly opaque coverage but the product was more prone to sheering out on the skin, so it ended up being medium, buildable coverage functionally.
The texture was more powdery to the touch and felt drier with a thinner consistency compared to the powder highlighters that the brand just released alongside the bronzers. It was incredibly blendable, though, and easy to work with. I think someone who prefers more buildable coverage and likes lighter bronzers will find this right up their alley. The finish was glowing without being shimmery. On my skin, the bronzer stayed on well for eight hours.

ColourPop's Pressed Powder Bronzer is supposed to have a "super velvety-soft" feel that yields a "natural tanned glow." There was no mention of coverage, but the brand's promotional swatches showed full coverage. The bronzers had a soft, silky texture that was slightly powdery in the pan but tended to apply with ease, blended out nicely, and sat well on the skin. The majority of the shades seemed to have a semi-matte to satin finish, which helped them glide on and appear more natural (in finish) on the skin. The wear ranged from eight to eight and a half hours on me.

Lovely shade and even better price <3
The price is nice!
This is SO pretty omg!!! I live the satin sheen!!
Glad you liked it, Shannon!
That looks really great on you. Super subtle but the sheen really makes it.
Aw, thanks, Erin!
Looks pretty on you!
Thanks, Katherine!
I like this a lot. The finish especially makes it stand out. Don’t see too many truly satin bronzers.
Even though I believe this particular one to be a little light for me, it appears to be a lovely option for light and med.-light skintones. Looks radiant and sunny on your cheeks!
